I am a bit late on posting about one of the most tragic events I could imagine, but I was utterly shocked to see this series of satellite photographs that depict the before and after of this devastating tsunami.

I should also list a few really important blogs that have been important in gathering aid to victims. The most popular ones I have encountered include:

– http://tsunamihelp.blogspot.com

– http://tsunamienquiry.blogspot.com

– http://tsunamimissing.blogspot.com

I also find it amazing how quickly the information on the Indian Ocean Earthquake was covered in Wikipedia and the Wikipedia Commons. After such a horrible event, I find it wonderful to see that individuals and organizations are using educational technologies such as blogs and wikis to cover and gather support for the victims of this tragedy. It demonstrates some of the power behind the tools, and more importantly, the social good-will of those doing what they can to help, even if separated by distance.
